Dutch Baby


People say it is the thought that counts when it comes to gift giving, and my thoughts were on this recipe when I picked out Nick's Christmas present. For Christmas, I gave Nick an All Clad stainless steel 10 inch frying pan.  The only reason I did this is so we could make a Dutch baby together *no pun intended*.  The recipe is dead easy and it is a lot of fun to watch the batter grow and rise up in the oven.  This recipe is basically an egg pancake recipe with the egg as the rising agent and it is just so simple that I couldn't resist trying this out.  The result is a crunchy exterior, soft and chewy interior, and perfect with either macerated strawberries and ricotta, or if you like it simple like me, just drizzled with some good maple syrup and served with a side of fruit.  It was absolutely delicious and now one of my breakfast favorites!
